[quote=Anonymous]I feel like OP and/or some other posters are trying to create an anti religion narrative when there isn't one.

I don't think anyone has said to stop going to church, just to try to figure out how to do it in a way that doesn't destroy the weekend. Or accept that it is a huge part of every weekend and lean into that instead of wondering why you don't have time for other things.

I I have to admit I don't understand brunch after church, this is lunch if your ceremony is at 11 right? Or are you brunching beforehand? That seems tough since kids being asked to sit quietly in two back to back things is a lot.

If I were OP I would change Sundays to look like this. Up at  8, breakfast/getting ready 8-9. Getting kids outside to play in some capacity from 9-10. Inside getting ready for church, leave at 10:30. Church 11-12. Home for lunch by 12:30. 4 year old in quiet time in his room and baby down for nap by 1. Each parent now has two hours though one has to be at home. Great time to trade off gym here or do the grocery store or lowes trip. Kids up at 3 then back outside to play/run/etc with one parent while the other gets some stuff done. Home and inside by 5:30 for dinner prep. Dinner at 6. Nighttime routine and then bedtime by 8/9. Then you have another two hours. That is four hours of time where adults can adult and still incorporating church on the church's schedule. [/quote]
